After winning the Heisman Trophy, Tim Brown messed around and had a Hall of Fame career. Brown played with the Raiders for all but one year of his career. Brown retired with exactly 100 touchdown catches and over 1,000 career receptions. The three time All-Pro wide receiver found himself on the 1990’s all-decade team. Brown was a dominant wide receiver, for over a decade. Most players who dominate, do it for a few season. Brown had the longevity to make him a special talent.
